To the Editor of the Ledger.
MExICo, Mo February 81 learn
that Judge Krekel, on November Is,
1886, fined Gus Klaus ana Fred
Hickman fifty dollars each for buying
unstamped cigars in violation of SIC.
34Oi. In this Cast the paI ties plead
guilty and Judge krekcl after hear
ing the statements of Klaus and
Hickman made an order that upon
their payment of the costs that had
accrued execution of the judgments
as to the fines should be suspended
until next March, and required only
the personal recognizance of said
parties for the payment of said
fines. For this action there ls, nor
was any express law. There is no
one who knows the facts but thinks
he did the proper thing. What
would the public think of a grand
jury, or any other body of mem, that
would array Judge Krekle for such
use of his discretion? EQUITY.

AUTUMN EXERCISE.
FINE SPORT OUT AT THE PARK, YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
About Two Dozen Oiizsns Go Out as the Guests Of the
Park Association and Spend Several Hours in
the Varied E~gpynsns Provided for Them.

The close of the regular summer season
st the Park was made the occasion, yes
terday, of q most enjoyable event, gotten
up By the Directors of the Association as a
compliment to a number Of their friends.
About twenty-five guests had been IN
yited out to the Park during the morning,
and most of the favored e boarded the
two O'Clock motor and were whirled out
to the place of meeting. Among the party
were Judge LETTERS, Col. T. P. ShallcrOss,
Rabbi Sessler, Fred and Sam Norton, Hon.
]. ], Woods, Hon. A. W. Campbell, Mr..
Bittman, of Pittsburg, NJ. A. Chew, ]. B.
fancy, John Frew, Henry stamm, A
Rsymann, and Others. The day was a per
feet one-a choice specimen Of what the
month of October car furnish upon extra
occasions, in this agile climate-and the
ride cut to the Park was a most pleasant
trip and was much enjoyed. Arriving at
their destination, the party was escorted
through the grounds, now more beautiful
than ever with the varigated autumnal
foliage, and after the supply of adjectives
carried by the gentlemen had been exhaust
ed in praising the enclosure, they were
conducted to the bowling alley, where
the party prepared for a good deal OF not
very gentle exercise, and for an hour or so
the big wooden balls were manipulated BY
the 'ientirs strength" of the company.
A mammoth game was played, the
newspaper men above mentioned, together
with Others who are not mentioned, taking
u side, in company with a sprinkliDg OF
expert players, while the best talent was
consolidated on "the other side" The
result was unexpected, the newspaper men
winning by a score of 1921 to 1906 for
their opponents.
The contest over, those present were IN
yited to partake of choice refreshments
which had been prepared in anticipation
of their coming, and then, after a final
stroll through the grounds, the party en-
barked on the six o'clock motor for home,
with the unananimous expression that they
had had a good time, and that the monot-
ony Of life in town had been very agreea-
bly, broken.

MINISTER'S.
Those Who are to Fill the Wheeling T
rlfa fha Naxf War

Those Who are to Fill the wheeling Pull
pits the Next Year.
By the appointments of the recent M. Z.
Conference several Wheeling churches have
received new pastors while the others still
remain with us. Rev. K. F. Randolph is
in his third year at Fourth Street, and
Rev. N. F. Dryden the same time at the
North Street Church. Their terms expire
in October, 1888, and it is hoped they will
be returned to Wheeling. Rev. Grimes,
of Thompson Church, ON the Island, who
has been IN our midst but a year, also re-
mains, as does Rev. ID. l.. Ash, OF Wesley
Chapel. The changes are in the Chapline
and Zane Street Churches. To the former
comes Rev. w. G. Riheldaffer, formerly
Presiding Elder of the Buckbannon dis
trict. He is well known by Wheeling peo-
pie and will be heartily welcomed back to
the city of his nativity.
Rev. C. d. Graham comes from Phillippi
to Zane street church, and those who know
the gentleman know also that he will be
popular with his new congregation. Rev.
S. f. Jones, who has been stationed at
Huntington, comes to us as Presiding FL
der of the district. He was for three years
pastor of Thompson NJ. E. Church, on the
Island, and for the past year has been sta.
toned at Huntington. He is so well known
to our people that it is almost unnecessary
to add that he will be warmly welcomed
back.
In the transfer of Rev. J. Henry Hess,
who goes to Short Creek and Liberty, and
Presiding Elder G. E. Hite, who gees to
Parkersburg, Wheeling loses two gentle
men who have made many friends among
our people since their residences here, and
who with their families will be greatly
missed. 1t is understood that Rev. Hite
will move his family to Parkersburg some
time next week.

veyances-
About the first event of the day was the

in the morning at the court house. The
crowd which surrounded the temple OF
Justice was very large, aud it is safe to say
not twenty-five per cent Of those present
had any satisfaction as far rs the music
was concerned. The contesting bands
were but two in number, the organizations
beloaning to Wellsburg and Toronto. Two
selections were played by each, and the
result was that Toronto took hrst place
and Wellsburg second.
At halt-psst nine O'Clock the foot race
came OF, n was won by Peter Jones.
The wheelbarrow lace, at ten o'clock,
was won oy the same individual who dis
tingulshed himself in the foot race, Mark
Andrews being second.

and u. Hammond the second.
The free-for-ail foot race was won by

Inc w~heeibarrow race was won by NJ.
Anderson, Robert Stickney second.
In the afternoon the parade OF the l. U.
U. +. Patriarchs Militant took place, and
was witnessed by an immense concourse Of
people. The parade was followed BY a
prize drill, Canton Pittsburg carrying of
the prize, a fine banner.
The display of daylight japanese fire
works was an unique feature, and was
much admired.
During the afternoon there was q boat
race and a blind-fold skiff race on the
river. Frank Saunders won the former
and Charles Cox the latter.
At three o'clock the stock parade came
of, the column being headed by the Wells.
burg band. The display was a very good
one.
Last night there were fireworks, a gen
eral illumination, and q number Of varied
attractions. Everybody seemed to be well
pleased with the entire affair, aud many
hopes were expressed that it would be re-
peated next year.

Gathering Divorce Statistics.

Mr.. Thomas T. Hurdle, of Washington,
D. c., is in the city on business connected
with the United States Bureau of Labor.
1t will be remembered that the work Of
collecting and compiling statistics IN rela-
ton to divorces granted throughout the
country, for the past year or so, was re-
ferred to the Bureau of Labor, in connec-
ton with its other work, and experts in
the work were put to work in all the States
in the Union to gather the information.
Mr.. Hurdle was assigned to West Virginia
aud so far he has covered thirty-two u
ties, and is now here gathering the facts
concerning divorces in Ohio county. The
report will be completed and published in
connection with the Report of the Bureau
of Labor, and it will no doubt make a
yery interesting volume.

crowned their efforts, and they doubtless
feel encouraged to go on and repeat the
